Well see thats the thing with me....I feel as though if I do use the strategy guide....I didn't beat the game, but the strategy guide beat it for me. But then again, I'm the one doing the actions...
strategy guides are only for rpg completionists, but like soriku mentioned.. gamefaqs is the best FREE way to go
I usually got guides back in the day after I beat a game to get the full experience. For most FF or other rpg games it was mandatory. I used one for FF8 and even for Majoras Mask because I couldn't figure out how to get all 30 masks for the secret ending.
My rule of thumb is try play the game right through without guides, then 2nd time use guides. only use a guide after an hr or so if you gotten absolutely nowhere.

Typically I beat a game, then look for obvious stuff I missed, then finally look at a guide to find the leftover nickle and dime stuff.
Should at least try it guideless first and you get stuck on something, just look up that particular section.

Try a bit. If you just can't figure it out, refer to the guide but check out that part ONLY, don't go wandering so later the game isn't ruined for you. |
same advice here... i usually whip out an in depth walkthrough only on the 2nd playthrough though.
Look, don't worry too much about what other people say. Games are about having fun, and if using a guide makes the game more enjoyable for you, then by all means go ahead and use one.

Thanks I will take your statement into account 8)
They saved the game experience for me a lot of times. Take FFs miss forever items. That just sucks. You forget some item in the first 10 hours and then discover, much later at 40 hours mark, that you must start a new game to get it.

| Soriku said: So your problem is you generally don't LONG RPGs with those crazy puzzles and bosses, right? Personally, I'll take those over any game any day. Btw, do you have a GC? If you do, I HIGHLY recommend you pick it up (unless you already have it). The puzzles are (generally) not TOO hard, and the game is made of pure win. Funny thing is... NO ONE HATES IT! Yep, ToS is a PERFECT game. I have NEVER EVER heard from someone who has PLAYED it they didn't like it. Ever. It's 100% perfect. And what's your favorite genre? |
I see you're mentally blocking when I said that I didn't like Tales of Symphonia and you told me, "DIE!!!!!!"
Story was uninspired, voice acting was passable (read as: only sometimes terrible), combat system was trash. Most disappointing GC game I've bought.
On topic, I prefer to avoid strategy guides. Who wants to waste precious gaming time looking up crap in a book?
Some games, like the FF series, seem to be designed to sell strategy guides, and I resent that they expect me to spend an extra $20 to fully enjoy their game. I suggest you don't fall for the con and get your info from the internet.
